29. The Labour Day long weekend traditionally marks the end of
the summer camping season and once again it arrived all too soon.

28. The crew headed up to Maffer & Chrissy's Cabin in
Tors Cove to celebrate another successful summer, as well as the recent birth of
baby Gavin, son of Maffer and Chrissy, the first baby in our crew!

25. French
brought up his Polaris Sportsman which was recently outfitted with fancy new Mud
Bug tires, I had my Honda Foreman, and Long had a rental Polaris Scrambler 4x4.
The three of us managed to log quite a few miles cruising the trails of the Southern Shore
without getting too too tangly.

24. Up until this trip, we've always had bonfires in
front of the cabin, which made parking a pain. We decided to clear
away the Alder Bushes from behind the cabin and build a new larger,
safer, more comfortable fire pit back there.

23. Using the bikes and a couple straps & Cables we
hooked onto the Alders one by one and pulled them out with ease. We
piled them up over by the well to dry and burn next year.

18. During the course of this operation, the fragile UV ray weakened
plastic well cover got damaged (most likely by Sooley), so we cut down one of
our new water barrels and installed it to repair the well.

17. With the fire pit
moved to the rear of the cabin we were able to build a tarp awning on the front
deck to keep us dry while barbequing, as it rains all to frequently when we're
at the cabin!

8. There was one large rock in the middle of the driveway that
always had to be avoided by anyone driving a car. Maffer, Sooley French & Bill
got out the shovels and dug around it finding it to be quite large, reminiscent
of an iceberg!

7. Mark got out his tow chain, hooked it around the rock and onto
his Dodge Dakota, and with a little finesse had the rock extracted just like a
bad tooth!

6. With the rock removed I graded the
road using my bike and dragging an old steel woodstove behind to level
everything out.

3. Towards the end I use French as ballast and we did a fine job of
fixing up the driveway.

1. All in all it was quite a productive weekend. We managed to
have weather clear enough to test out our new fire pit, even baby Gavin joined
us by the fire for a little while.
